Chicken Confit for Weeknight Experimentation

This chicken confit from D’Artagnan is a versatile ingredient for tacos, stir-fries and more.

Reasons for discussion.

Make it and freeze it.

Sooner is better.   As soon as you can is best.

Texas Flavor Heats Up Shake Shacks

Diners will be able to add a meaty chili in the Texas style to hot dogs, cheeseburgers and fries.

Good chili is worth a stop.

I have been known to make decent chili.

What to Cook Right Now

Make David Tanis’s recipe for a wild mushroom and winter squash curry, or if that’s not your jam, try Tejal Rao’s recipe for katsudon.

Foraging is the way I know to capture wild mushrooms.
I am not as brave to them as I have been.
I have a guide book and have used it carefully.

A Chance to Catch Vegan Tuna

Whole foods is using Ahimi, from a San Francisco-based company, in vegan rolls and sushi.

Conceptually I approve of the ersatz.

There are other things to eat on cold rice than tuna.

Bars Are Putting On the Ritz With an Old Drink: The Tuxedo

The cocktail, a martini variation with two versions, is catching on in fancy bars across the country.

I will do without potable ethanol.

One of the World’s Best Chefs Talks Food Waste

Massimo Bottura will discuss the future of food at the 92nd Street Y.

The problem with using food waste to feed the hungry is that slander on Marie Antoinette: Let them eat cake.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let_them_eat_cake
Everyone feels inferior taking charity.
Food waste for the poor will be resented.  If possible it will be refused.

A solution would be to serve everything edible to the front of the house.

Traditionally kitchen waste fed the animals.

The pig farms of Secaucus closed in the early fifties.

Physical activity made all the difference to participants who managed to keep the pounds from returning, a new study finds.

For My Son With Disabilities, the Joy of Trick-or-Treating With a Buddy

After years of challenges in making friends, I cherish a ritual that other parents can take for granted.

Socialization is a vital part of independent life.
You figured that out.
I was weird enough not to realize it is required.

The Learning Network

Do You Spend Enough Time With Other People?

How strong are your social relationships?

My social circle is counted on the fingers of one hand.

The Maccionis Plan to Close Osteria del Circo

A dispute with their landlord, along with plans to move Le Cirque, may leave them without any restaurants in New York for a while.

New York city is strangling itself.
A city must be more than bedrooms and bars.
